That didn't work either. It seems that anything I run through a pipe gets
truncated. I'm not sure why. If I just run dpkg -l all by itself, I get a
nicely spaced output that I could cut and past from, but that would require
me to do the work that my computer should do for me ;-). Any suggestions?
Running this at the console (as opposed to an X terminal window) doesn't
behave any differently.

That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
